There is a new art exhibit this year - Beyond These Walls - a curated sampling of art created by West students OUTSIDE of the walls of West. Many students at West create art - with a variety of media - outside of the school day. Some students even sell their art to the community or via sites like Etsy. This art exhibit is an opportunity for self-motivated artists at West to showcase the work they are doing independently. You are encouraged to check out the exhibit in lower E wing!
A HUGE thank you to Ms. Lahart for organizing this wonderful exhibit and opportunity for the students of Maine West!
Come visit the exhibit and ponder the inspiring artwork by these creative students!
